Each year, a new class of bright and aspiring engineers from across the state of Maryland become students at the A. James Clark School of Engineering, ranked 22nd nationally among undergraduate engineering programs in U.S. News & World Report’s 2021 Best Colleges report.
We owe our success in building our next impressive incoming class, in part, to the students, faculty, and leadership from high schools across Maryland.
The Clark School is pleased to acknowledge and celebrate our Top 25 Engineering Source Schools* for 2020–2021. These high schools represent top locations for in-state talent in our undergraduate engineering programs:
